Abstract

The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into homiletic and liturgical practices marks a "change of era" for the contemporary Church, necessitating a rigorous interdisciplinary evaluation of its spiritual and ontological implications. This study investigates the tension between the functional efficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the traditional understanding of preaching as an embodied, pneumatological event. By synthesizing systematic theology—grounded in the Thomistic distinction between ratio and intellectus and Barthian pneumatology—with empirical sociological analysis, the research evaluates whether algorithmic mediation facilitates or disrupts the authentic proclamation of the Word. Central to this inquiry is an original empirical survey conducted in April 2026 within the Fiangonan’i Jesoa Kristy eto Madagasikara (FJKM), involving N=67 pastors and lay leaders. Quantitative analysis, utilizing a one-way ANOVA, was employed to test the null hypothesis concerning differences in perception between clergy and laity regarding AI as a substitute for the Holy Spirit. The results yielded a p-value of 0.412, indicating a remarkable ecclesial consensus : while 81% of respondents acknowledge the functional utility of AI, a profound 91% reject it as a pneumatological replacement. Furthermore, 87% of participants advocated for a dedicated digital commission, signaling an urgent demand for institutional governance. This study concludes by proposing a "theological discernment framework" based on six guiding principles, asserting that AI must remain an "exegetical orthosis" under qualified human supervision, thereby preserving the sacred, incarnate, and testimonial nature of the ministerial vocation against the risks of technological "enslavement."

Abstract

This study investigates the ontological and methodological transition from Paul Tillich’s classical correlation to a paradigm of Augmented Correlation within the liturgical context of the Fiangonan’i Jesoa Kristy eto Madagasikara (FJKM). Facing the dual pressures of temporal scarcity and the need for theological depth, this research proposes the "LiturgIA" framework—a hybrid architecture synchronizing the high-reasoning capabilities of the DeepSeek R1 model with specialized symbolic knowledge bases, including original biblical lexicons (HALOT, BDAG) and local hymnological corpora. The innovative core of this work lies in its "Five-Episteme Model," which orchestrates a disciplined dialogue between biblical theology, computer science, practical theology, sociology, and systematic theology. Empirical results demonstrate a transformative efficiency, yielding an 89% reduction in liturgical preparation time while simultaneously increasing the Theological Coherence Index (TCI). Unlike traditional "black-box" systems, the model utilizes Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to bridge the "Explainability Gap," ensuring that algorithmic suggestions remain subject to "epistemic vigilance." By grounding the AI in 200 historical programs and Malagasy-specific hymnals, the study successfully counters digital colonialism, preserving liturgical sovereignty and inculturation. Ultimately, the research affirms that while AI masters tekhnê (technical optimization), the human pastor remains the indispensable arbiter of phronêsis (practical wisdom). This "augmented" approach transforms artificial intelligence into an "exegetical orthosis," supporting the structural integrity of the proclamation without infringing upon the "algorithmic unavailability" of the inner sanctuary or the pneumatological event of worship.
